Heterochain polymers such as DNA and proteins are abundant in nature, but they are not ubiquitous in man-made polymers due to the synthetic difficulties. Traditional polymerization methodologies including chain polymerization, step-growth polymerization, and coordination polymerization all show obvious drawbacks in synthesizing heterochain polymers. The alkyne multicomponent polymerizations (MCPs) developed in the early 2000s open a new door for the synthesis of conjugated heterochain polymers with diverse structures and unique properties. This review presents the progress in novel heterochain polymers constructed by alkyne-based MCPs in the last three years. The unique properties and high-tech applications brought by heteroatoms and MCPs are summarized and perspectives on future directions are also discussed.
杂链聚合物如 DNA 和蛋白质在自然界中很丰富，但由于合成的困难，它们在人造聚合物中并不普遍。传统的聚合方法包括链式聚合、逐步聚合和配位聚合，在合成杂链聚合物方面都有明显的缺点。21 世纪初发展起来的炔基多组分聚合（MCPs）为合成具有多种结构和独特性能的共轭杂链聚合物开辟了新的途径。本综述介绍了过去三年中基于炔烃的 MCPs 构建的新型杂链聚合物的进展。总结了杂原子和 MCPs 带来的独特性质和高科技应用，并对未来的发展方向进行了讨论。
